Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell Paint BioShock 2

The Cult of Rapture showcases a new painting by renowned fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell.

Are you familiar with the works of fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell? Even though you might not know them by name, their combined works include covers for Tarzan, Conan the Barbarian, and countless other fantasy novels. 2K Games' The Cult of Rapture site has now posted the latest entry in its BioShock 2 Artist Series, which showcases the pair's "Subject Delta" painting.

The fourth and final instalment of the BioShock 2 Artist Series is painted by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. They have taken Rapture and painted it in their own style, creating one of the most striking paintings I have seen in a long time.

Bryn says: I became a bit of a Vallejo fan back in the late '80s/early '90s, mainly because I started having access to the Internet through college and university facilities. It seemed as though at the time a lot of Vallejo's work was posted to bulletin boards simply because of the novelty of downloading high-res pictures. Of course, he's well-known for erotic fantasy art too, but that's a different story. I really like this BioShock 2 artwork -- do you?
